MCM Avid Poster (5/6)

  1. I built this truck in honor of my father. The roof and cab back are 3D printed, resin hood, the stacks, bumper, and corner sticks are aluminum, the chassis shortened 3/4”, and a few hand crafted parts and salvage yard parts. My dad started driving truck in the 50’s purchased his 1st truck in 65 he raced the Liberty Belle in the late 70’s into the early 80’s he retired in January 2023 at the age of 87 witch of the last 17 years he drove for Rochester Iron & Metal, he believed that if the wheels weren’t turning you weren’t making any money, you couldn’t make money letting someone else work on your truck, and a real race truck could pull a trailer, he passed away in August 2023
  2. Still have to do some modifications underneath the hood still not tilting back to the cab enough
  3. The roof is 3D printed, and it is a 1/24 AMT kit not a die cast. The frame rails have been shortened 3/4” the original batterie boxes revamped and the unused bunk used to make the lower panel’s below the doors and the cabs air ride
  4. Would like to see a flyer and categories list. Sorry not on Facebook
  5. Another mind blowing 🤯 detail can’t wait to see what you do next this is a remarkable build
  6. Every time I tune in to your build there’s always something new and amazing to learn great ingenuity
  7. Well I think that I am finished I am sure that I will probably tweak some little things that I see in the pictures for an amateur builder I am pretty pleased with how it turned out. I would like to thank everyone for sharing how too’s ,tips, and coaching me along I hope that I haven’t disappointed
